Prohibition in Finland Marks Drastic Diet Move
The Times dispatch from Helsingfors reports a sweeping ban on all traffic in intoxicating liquors in Finland's first Diet session. Spirits may only be produced and sold as a state monopoly for medical use, with exceptions for Russian troops. The law permits police to search homes and seize vehicles or cargo, imposes heavy penalties, and offers no compensation for losses to breweries. Critics doubt enforcement and note international treaties with Russia may limit impact. Finland's alcohol index is low, yet intoxication remains a social issue.
